Christ our Anchor
Family Life Department
MISSION STATEMENT
The family was established by divine creation as the fundamental human institution and is the primary setting in which values are learned and the capacity for close relationships with God and with other human beings is developed. Family Ministries seeks to enable families to stretch toward divine ideals, while at the same time extending the good news of God’s saving grace and the promise of growth possible through the indwelling Spirit.
OBJECTIVES
Family Ministries recognizes the mutual strength and support which the church must be to the home, and the home to the church.
For the mission of the church to become a reality the following objectives have been adopted.
- To proclaim the reviving and restorative message of the everlasting gospel within the context of family living.
- To affirm and strengthen every Seventh-day Adventist family as a primary discipling unit.
- To enable parents and families to increase the likelihood of successful transference of Christian Seventh-day Adventist values to the next generation
- To create a “family of God” experience in every Seventh-day Adventist church
- To empower families for winsome witness.
Christ is and must be acknowledged as the Savior and Head of every home. In Him, family members are at peace with God and at peace with each other.
As they draw near to Him they are drawn nearer to each other, in love, forgiveness, reconciliation, and renewal.
